I think I have withheld a vital clue :-[ Before getting the message re: incorrect permissions I get a message about wrong directory owner, the directory was owned by root/wheel and I needed to chown gdm:gdm it. The directory was installed by: tbird:~> sudo pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm/.keep_me /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm/.keep_me was installed by package gnomehier-1.0_4 and presumably this port does not have any knowledge of gdm:gdm. Maybe the fix is to add the gdm uid and gid to the gnomehier port? FWIW, my umask is either 2 or 22 (I have never realized before that sudo uses a different umask then my normal uid and indeed a full su root). rgds/mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
